4 At an academic conference, a debate took place on the implementation of corporate governance practices indeveloping countries. Professor James West from North America argued that one of the key needs for developingcountries was to implement rigorous systems of corporate governance to underpin investor confidence in businessesin those countries. If they did not, he warned, there would be no lasting economic growth as potential foreign inwardinvestors would be discouraged from investing.In reply, Professor Amy Leroi, herself from a developing country, reported that many developing countries arediscussing these issues at governmental level. One issue, she said, was about whether to adopt a rules-based or aprinciples-based approach. She pointed to evidence highlighting a reduced number of small and medium sized initialpublic offerings in New York compared to significant growth in London. She suggested that this change could beattributed to the costs of complying with Sarbanes-Oxley in the United States and that over-regulation would be thelast thing that a developing country would need. She concluded that a principles-based approach, such as in theUnited Kingdom, was preferable for developing countries.Professor Leroi drew attention to an important section of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to illustrate her point. The keyrequirement of that section was to externally report on – and have attested (verified) – internal controls. This was, sheargued, far too ambitious for small and medium companies that tended to dominate the economies of developingcountries.Professor West countered by saying that whilst Sarbanes-Oxley may have had some problems, it remained the casethat it regulated corporate governance in the ‘largest and most successful economy in the world’. He said that ruleswill sometimes be hard to follow but that is no reason to abandon them in favour of what he referred to as ‘softer’approaches.(a) There are arguments for both rules and principles-based approaches to corporate governance.Required:(i) Describe the essential features of a rules-based approach to corporate governance; (3 marks)
考题
(ii) Construct the argument against Professor West’s opinion, and in favour of Professor Leroi’s opinion thata principles-based approach would be preferable in developing countries. Your answer should considerthe particular situations of developing countries. (10 marks)

Brain Drain1.Brain drain is a phenomenon under which"people of a nation move to another nation due to financial benefits and also due to economical reasons,but there are many more reasons behind it". If we think deeply to the topic,we would find that this phenomenon has more disadvantages than advantages.2.This phenomenon has many advantages for receiving countries which will automatically benefit from the skills and talents of immigrated people who were educated and qualified in their home countnes.3.However,developing countries are deeply affected by this phenomenon since they are deprived from millions of their skilled workers, doctors,hardworking Engineers,and billions of man power. Those elites represent the backbone of their economies and once they travel abroad,their economies will not flourish and promote.In fact,there are many reasons behind brain drain.Firstly,the Government is the first responsible for brain drain. The salaries paid by local companies are much less than multinational foreign companies,which pushes millions of intelligent,hardworking Engineers to leave their native countries to look for a better life and opportunities.Secondly,the status and facilities provided by foreign companies are much higher in quality and quantity.Also,some people find it a matter of pride and dignity to work as an employee in foreign countries.4.But we have to mention that brain drain does not only affect developing countries but also has some advantages for them.People living abroad help foreigners to know about their cultures and traditions.Also,they give information about various natural beauties and tourist spots in their home countries,which encourages tourists to visit them. This in turn increases tourist income.Brain drain also helps in increasing their foreign exchanges.5.But at last you would find that brain drain has more disadvantages than advantages on developing or poor countries.So,to stop brain drain,local governments should make people aware of its harmful effects.Also Government should provide opportunities to their elites and should provide them with handsome salary so that they can serve their own mother nation.Paragraph 3______A:Harmful effects of brain drain on developing countries.B:Brain drain in developing countries.C:Strategies governments can use to curb brain drain.D:Good effects of brain drain on receiving countries.E:Brain drain and elites.F: Benefits brain drain brings to developing countries.

Communications Revolution Cyberspace,data superhighway,multi-media-for those who have seen the future,the linking of computers, television and telephones will change our lives forever.Yet for all the talk of a forthcoming technological utopia little attention has been given to the implications of these developments for the poor.As with all new high technology,while the West concerns itself.with the"how",the question of"for whom"is put aside once again. Economists are only now realizing the full extent to which the communications revolution has affected the world economy.Information technology allows the extension of trade across geographical and industrial boundaries,and transnational corporations take full advantage of it.Terms of trade,exchange and interest rates and money movements are more important than the production of goods.The electronic economy made possible by information technology allows the haves to increase their control on global markets-with destructive impact on the have-nots. For them the result is instability.Developing countries which rely on the production of a small range of goods for export are made to feel like small parts in the international economic machine.As"futures"are traded on computer screens,developing countries simply have less and less control of their destinies. So what are the options for regaining control?One alternative is for developing countries to buy in the latest computers and telecommunications themselves-so-called"development communications"modernization.Yet this leads to long-term dependency and perhaps permanent constraints on developing countries'economies. Communications technology is generally exported from the U.S.,Europe or Japan;the patents,skills and ability to manufacture remain in the hands of a few industrialized countries.It is also expensive,and imported products and services must therefore be bought on credit-credit usually provided by the very countries whose companies stand to gain. Furthermore,when new technology is introduced there is often too low a level of expertise to exploit it for native development.This means that while local elites,foreign communities and subsidiaries of transnational corporations may benefit,those whose lives depend on access to the information are denied by it.Why does the author say that the electronic economy may have a destructive impact on developing countries?A:Because it destroys the economic balance of the poor countries.B:Because it inhibits the industrial growth of developing countries.C:Because it enables the developed countries to control the international market.D:Because it violates the national boundaries of the poor countries.

第三篇Global Cancer Rates to Rise by 50% by 2020The number of new cancer cases worldwide is expected to increase by 50%by the year 2020.But a new report suggests that as many as a third of new cancers could be avoided by adopting healthier lifestyles and through public health action.The World Cancer Report,released by the International Agency for Research on Cancer,shows that cancer has now emerged as a major public health threat in developing countries as well as rich ones.Overall,cancer was responsible for 12%of all deaths in 2000.But in many countries more than a quarter of all deaths are caused by cancer.The report shows that 1 0 million new cancers were diagnosed globally in 2000,and that number is expected to rise to 15 million by 2020.Researchers say most of that increase will mainly be due to steadily aging populations in both developed and developing countries and current trends in smoking and other unhealthy habits."Cancer has emerged as a major public health problem in developing countries for the first time, matching its effect in industrialized（工业化的）countries , " said researcher Paul Kleihues,MD,director of IARC,in a news release."Once considered a'Western' disease,the Report highlights that more than 50 percent of the world's cancer burden,in terms of both numbers of cases and deaths,already occurs in developing countries."The risk of being diagnosed with cancer in developed countries is double that in less-developed ones.However,the risk of dying from cancer is much higher in developing countries , where 80% of cancer patients already have late-stage incurable tumors（肿瘤） at the time of diagnosis.Researchers say cancer rates have traditionally been higher in developed countries due to greater exposure to tobacco,occupational carcinogens（致癌物）,and an unhealthy Western diet and lifestyle.As less-developed countries become industrialized and more prosperous,they tend to adopt the high-fat diet and low physical activity levels typically seen in the West,which increase cancer rates. Which of the following statements is NOT correct?A:There were 1 0 million cancer patients worldwide in 2000.B:Generally,cancer accounted for 12% of all deaths in 2000.C:Cancer is the cause of over 25%of all deaths in many countries.D:It is expected that global cancer rates will go up by 50%by 2020.
